Premier Futsal League: 5 players who can be most influential in the final

4. Michel Salgado

Salgado has led by example throughout the tournament

At the age of 40, the former Galactico has been a standout player this season. Dubbed by experts as the least gifted marquee player in the league, he has come out on top against all odds and proven them wrong.

Salgado's mental and physical strength along with passion has been infectious and his teammates, especially the Indian players have fed on his confidence. His partnership with Chaguinha in the defense has seen Kochi hold strong in defense while his bullet-like runs have troubled the opposition's defense on many occasions.

Salgado has already netted a goal against Mumbai and could find himself on the scoresheet tonight. It is clear that Michel Salgado hates to lose and he would probably do everything in his power to win the game tonight for his Kochi team.
